Ginley told Gothamist that the deformed creature was about two feet from head to tail.

Some parts of the animal's skin were grey, blue or green and others were red, the photographer told WABC's Kemberly Richardson. "It sort of had a raccoon face and was bloated and didn't smell," she said.

The New York City Parks Department told Animal New York that the grisly-looking corpse was "a pig left over from a cookout,” which they disposed of.

However, Joe Coscarelli of New York magazine's Daily Intel points out that pigs have four toes on each hoof and there are five on the unidentified specimen. The Parks Department told Coscarelli they "didn't count the toes" before they threw it out.
